Postsparcassen-Amt (Imperial-Royal Postal Savings Office). The building is regarded as an important early work of modern architecture, representing Wagner's Austrian Postal Haupteingang Georg first move away from Art Nouveau and Neoclassicism. Through the *** Otto Wagner Savings Bank Coch-Platz 2 main entrance at Georg-Coch-Platz the visitor ascends a flight of stairs to the grand Kassenhalle, where customer services are located. The main hall is thus on the first floor. The hall is designed like an atrium, with a large glass skylight allowing natural light to enter the heart of the building at all times. Mon-Fri (8-15), Thu (8-17.30) The MAK – Austrian Museum of Applied Arts / Contemporary Art is one of the most important museums of its kind worldwide. Founded as the Imperial Royal Austrian Museum of Art and Industry in 1863, today’s museum—with its unique collection of applied arts and as a first-class *** MAK Museum Stubenring 5 address for contemporary art—can boast an incomparable identity. Fun fact: it was the first museum to acquire art work using the cryptocurrency bitcoin. General admission €9.90, €7.50 students, Free admission Tue 18-22. Wed-Sun (10-18), Tue (10-22) Built in 1989 as a roof addition to an existing building. It consists of a Office Extension in Biberstrasse + radical crash of framework draping over edge of older building. 400 * Coop Himmelb(l)au Vienna Falkestrasse square meters of roof space were to be converted into an office, the main element being a central conference-room. Originally built in 1237 as as the Church of St. Maria Rotunda, an early Baroque parish church and minor basilica. This church was heavily Jacopo Spacio, damaged during the first siege of Vienna by the Turkish army in 1529. Cipriano Biasino, ** Postgasse 4A The choir was demolished and the nave was partly taken down. The Dominikanerkirche Carpoforo Tencala, building became more and more dilapidated during the next period. In 1631 Antonio Canevale the Dominicans started to build a new oblong church with a dome, following the plan of Jacopo Tencala. Mon-Sun (7-19) Built in 1627 as a Jesuit Church. In 1703, Brother Andrea Pozzo, S.J., an architect, painter, and sculptor, and a master in the quadratura, was requested by Emperor Leopold I to redecorate the church. He added twin towers and reworked the façade in an early Baroque style with narrow Doktor-Ignaz- **** Jesuitenkirche Andrea Pozzo horizontal and vertical sections. The design of the windows, narrow Seipel-Platz 1 niches (with statues), and the small central part of the façade deviate from the Baroque style of the towers. Pozzo died unexpectedly in 1709, just before he was to move to Venice, and was buried in the church. Mon-Sun (7-18) The Mozarthaus Vienna was Mozart's residence from 1784 to 1787. This building in Vienna's Old Town is his only surviving Viennese residence and is now a museum.

Its massive south tower is its highest St. Stephen's point and a dominant feature of the Vienna skyline. Inside the cathedral ***** Stephansplatz 3 Cathedral are the tombs of Prince Eugene of Savoy, commander of the Imperial forces during the War of the Spanish Succession in the Chapel of The Cross (northwest corner of the cathedral) and of Frederick III, Holy Roman Emperor. Mon-Sat (6-22) Built in 1990 as a retail and a restaurant building. The building is considered controversial owing to its contrast with the adjacent Stock-im-Eisen- ** Haas House Hans Hollein Stephansdom cathedral. At the top you can enjoy a spectacular view of Platz St. Stephen's Cathedral at a beautiful coffee shop and restaurant. Restaurant Mon-Sun (12-15/18-00) Built in 1693 as a Holy Trinity column after the Great Plague epidemic of 1679. In 1683, Matthias Rauchmiller was commissioned to do the marble works, but he died in 1686 and only left a few angel figures. Several * Bestsäule Statue Matthias Rauchmüller Graben new designs followed, among others by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, who designed the sculptures at the base of the column. Finally, the project management was assigned to Paul Strudel, who based his work on the concept of theatre engineer Lodovico Burnacini. Built in 1733 as a Baroque Roman Catholic parish church. The oldest church building (of which nothing remains today) dates back to the Early Middle Ages, and there is speculation that it could be the oldest church Johann Lukas von ***** Peterskirche Petersplatz 6 in Vienna. The design was inspired by the St. Peter's Basilica of the Hildebrandt Vatican in Rome. Due to the confinement of available space, it was built in a very compact form, with its oval interior housing an astonishing amount of space and rectangular attachments. Mon-Sun (9-18.30) Kärntner Straße is the most famous shopping street in central Vienna. It runs from the Stephansplatz out to the Wiener Staatsoper at **** Kärntner Straße Kärntner Straße Karlsplatz on the Ringstraße. The first record of Kärntner Straße is from 1257, as Strata Carintianorum, which refers to its importance as a trade route to the southern province of Carinthia. The Imperial Crypt also called the Capuchin Crypt (Kapuzinergruft) is a Johann Aman and burial chamber beneath the Capuchin Church and monastery, founded in ** Capuchin Church Tegetthoffstraße 2 Johann Höhne 1618. Since 1633, the Imperial Crypt has been the principal place of entombment for members of the House of Habsburg. Mon-Sun (10-18) The original objective of the two was to build a theatre for a non-noble audience that was not affected by social and political censorship and that worked in direct competition to the Imperial Burgtheater and other stages of the "official" Austria. The Wiener Stadttheater was opened in 1872. Twelve years later, in 1884, the building burnt down completely. *** Ronacher Theatre Seilerstätte 9 The ruins were purchased by a gentleman called Anton Ronacher in 1886. Therefore, the Ronacher - after being re-built in historicist style in 1888 - was re-opened as a concert- and ball venue. It was associated with a hotel and got not only electric light, but also a ball room, a conservatory and "promandes" where visitors could amble.

It opened again in 2000, and is the first museum of sound and music in Austria. General admission €13, €9 students. Mon-Sun (10-22) The first LOVE F CAFÉ is placed at the formerly most exclusive and prominent corner in Vienna - the "SIRK-corner". The Café, owned by TV channel Fashion-TV, is set in the middle of the broad entry into the Soehne & Partner * traditional Viennese city center, succeeding in striking a bridge between Fashion TV Café Architekten modernity and tradition. LOVE F CAFÉ is not only a coffee shop, it is also a place of bundled media presence and the extravagant embodiment of Fashion TV. Built in 2011 as a restaurant. The main challenge at Albertina Passage was to recreate an abandoned pedestrian underpass at the very center Soehne & Partner of Vienna into a modern dinner club for up to 300 people. The target * Albertina Passage Architekten Operring 1 was to design a club that is suitable for an elegant dinner as well as for a big party night. Hence, the design includes live music, a restaurant and a lounge. Tue-Sat (18-4) Built in 1869 as an opera house. The Ministry of the Interior had commissioned a number of reports into the availability of certain building materials, with the result that stones long not seen in Vienna were used, such as Wöllersdorfer Stein. The building was, however, not very popular with the public. On the one hand, it did not seem as grand as August Sicard von the Heinrichshof, a private residence which was destroyed in World War ***** State Opera House Sicardsburg and Opernring 2 II (and replaced in 1955 by the Opernringhof). Eduard van der Nüll Eduard van der Nüll committed suicide, and barely ten weeks later Sicardsburg died from tuberculosis so neither architect saw the completion of the building.

  • Vienna Guide
    April 22—24, 2015, Vienna, Austria Hotel Park Royal Palace Vienna Guide SIGHTSEEING Vienna is old, Vienna is new… and the sights are so varied: from the magnificent Baroque buildings to “golden” Art Nouveau to the latest architecture. And over 100 museums beckon… ALBERTINA The Albertina has the largest and most valuable graphical collection in the world, including works such as Dürer’s “Hare” and Klimt‘s studies of women. Its latest exhibition presents masterpieces of the Modern era, spanning from Monet to Picasso and Baselitz. As the largest Hapsburg residential palace, the Albertina dominates the southern tip of the Imperial Palace on one of the last remaining fortress walls in Vienna. ANKER CLOCK This clock (built 1911–14) was created by the painter and sculptor Franz von Matsch and is a typical Art Nouveau design. It forms a bridge between the two parts of the Anker Insurance Company building. In the course of 12 hours, 12 historical figures (or pairs of figures) move across the bridge. Every day at noon, the figures parade, each accompanied by music from its era. AUGARTEN PORCELAIN MANUFacTORY Founded in 1718, the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory is the second-oldest in Europe. Now as then, porcelain continues to be made and painted by hand. Each piece is thus unique. A tour of the manufactory in the former imperial pleasure palace at Augarten gives visitors an idea of how much love for detail goes into the making of each individual piece. The designs of Augarten have been created in cooperation with notable artists since the manufactory was established.

  • The Funerals of the Habsburg Emperors in the Eighteenth Century
    The Funerals of the Habsburg Emperors In the Eighteenth Century MARK HENGERER 1. Introduction The dassic interpretation of the eighteenth century as aperiod of transition-from sacred kingship to secular state, from a divine-right monarchy to enlightened absolutism, from religion to reason-neglects, so the editor of this volume suggests, aspects of the continuing impact of religion on European royal culture during this period, and ignores the fact that secularization does not necessarily mean desacralization. If we take this point of view, the complex relationship between monarchy and religion, such as appears in funerals, needs to be revisited. We still lack a comparative and detailed study of Habsburg funerals throughout the entire eighteenth century. Although the funerals of the emperors in general have been the subject of a great deal of research, most historians have concentrated either on funerals of individual ruIers before 1700, or on shorter periods within the eighteenth century.l Consequently, the general view I owe debts of gratitude to MeJana Heinss Marte! and Derek Beales for their romments on an earlier version ofthis essay, and to ThomasJust fi'om the Haus-, Hof­ und Staatsarchiv, Vienna, for unbureaucratic access to the relevant source material.

Sci., 2019, Vol. 29, No. 1, 7–16 DOI: 10.2478/amcs-2019-0001 INTRODUCING NARRATIVES IN EUROPEANA: A CASE STUDY a,∗ a a a CARLO MEGHINI ,VALENTINA BARTALESI ,DANIELE METILLI ,FILIPPO BENEDETTI aNetworked Multimedia Information Systems Laboratory Institute of Information Science and Technologies “Alessandro Faedo”—CNR Via Giuseppe Moruzzi 1, 56124 Pisa, Italy e-mail: {carlo.meghini,valentina.bartalesi}@isti.cnr.it, {daniele.metilli,filippo.benedetti}@isti.cnr.it We present a preliminary study to introduce narratives as a first-class functionality in digital libraries. The general idea is to enrich those libraries with semantic networks of events providing a meaningful contextualisation of the digital libraries’ objects. More specific motivations are presented through a set of use cases by different actors who would benefit from using narratives for different purposes. Then, we consider a specific digital library, Europeana, the largest European digital library in the cultural heritage domain. We discuss how the Europeana Data Model could be extended for representing narratives, and we introduce an ontology for narratives. We also present a semi-automatic tool, which, on the basis of the ontology, supports the creation and visualisation of narratives, and we show how the tool has been employed to create a narrative of the life of the painter Gustav Klimt as a case study. In particular, we focus our attention on the functionality of the tool that allows extracting and proposing to the user specific digital objects for each event of the narrative. Keywords: digital libraries, narratives, Europeana, ontologies. 1. Introduction in the Europeana Data Model (EDM)2 the concept of event was introduced.
